Brigade, halted the trains of troops moving in advance, and 
moved forward Avith my command, (except Seventeenth Ken- 
tucky Volunteers, Avhicli was left guarding supplies), at double- 
quick, and without awaiting orders, took up a position on the 
extreme left, thinking it not only a post of danger but that it 
was the key to the position occupied by our troops ; reported 
my arrival and position to General Rousseau, same satisfactory. 
Left the highway, passing through woods and fields in order to 
attain the left of the line, and almost immediately upon my 
arrival became fiercely engaged with the enemy and so contin- 
ued until night-fall. Brigade repulsed all attacks of the ene- 
my, punishing him severely; my whole line moved not, maneu- 
vered not, and was never broken ; all other troops retired to 
new lines and positions, some retiring in disorder and con- 
fusion.

colors, and drew off by hand all the guns and caissons of

hibited in supporting and saving Fourth Indiana Battery.
